399. The Muirwoods is also 399. The Jamis dealer in my area was charging a little over 400 for the Coda I believe just as a comparison of Boston bike prices.

You think that's the bike or the people who put it together/LBS?

Marin Novato vs. Muirwoods?

Can anyone help compare these two bikes: 2006 Marin Novato 9 and Muirwoods. I see that the Novato is alum and both are sort of hybrids with 26" inch wheels which is probably what I'm looking for....
